Marijuana Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 WellA, once upon a time iEn Seventeen Seventy-Six

 Thomas DJefferson signed his name on a piece of mariAjuana

 And this document was a Esymbol of freedom

 And of Dliberty, at least for the rich white gentry

And time marched along, this plant that I referred to

Has been used for everything from medicine to the American flag

And now it seems to me that somewhere along the way

Things got messed up, yeah, messed up

 For mariEjuana

 A gift of God to my brothers and Ame D A

 Oh, mariEjuana

 The government wants to test me when I ApeeD A

Well, some say a conspiracy, the petrol, chemical and pulp paper

Industries combined to kill the competition

Government hysteria, monopoly

And conflict of interest with total impunity, yeah

So if you don't buy the conspiracy, just look at the reality

That your tax dollars go to spray poison

on the fields of a farmer in South America

And as an added bonus, your neighbour might be the proud recipient

Of that poison weed

 Oh, mariEjuana

 The government wants to test me when I ApeeD A

 Oh, mariEjuana

 A gift of God to my brothers and Ame D A

 Oh, mariEjuana

 You can't legislate your own moraliAty D A

 Oh, mariEjuana

 The government wants to test me when I ApeeD A

F7MFree from madness, chronic sadness

 What is the half-life of bad propaAmganda

F7MThe policies fail, denied bail

 You made him a demon, now pay for his trip to Amprison

Hard to promote the status quo

But what is the shelf life of bad legislation

The hypocrite smirks, it's a moral disgrace

 As he reads from the law that was Dwritten

 About the D/Csame time

 that he D/Bhad his last original Ethoughts

Men said he was dying and the nausea and the pain

Left him wasting away and unable to keep a meal down

So he tried everything prescription could obtain

But to no avail, the side effects were worse than the pain

So now he breaks the law to use the one thing that seems

To help him out, but the people say, oh he's just gettin' high

But not to change the subject, but didn't you ever wonder why

Gettin' high's a crime, yeah, a crime

 For marijuEana

 A gift of God to my brothers and Ame D A

 Oh, marijuEana

 The government wants to test me when I ApeeD A

 Oh, marijuEana

 The government wants to test me when I ApeeD A

 Oh, marijuEana

 The government wants to test me when I ApeeD A
